Yessssss. My script won the contest and Ayes is finally accepting voice tryouts for this year's radio play. I also provided cover art for the project. Now I'm going to try out for a part in the play so that my evil takeover will be complete.
Mwa ha ha ha!
Although you're planning a mass take-over, Congradulations brah! :D

My cat has decided that rubbing her face on all my belongings is a productive use of her time, and that a productive use of my time is to follow her around and push her off shoes, jumpers and other various garments that are scattered on the floor of my bedroom.
You'd think that this would be a sign for me to clean up if I don't want my cat rubbing her face on all my things.
Fuck that, I'll just close the door so she can't get in, problem solved!
I've had two jobs so far that have required an initial physical exam and continual physical checkups. The first was a sniper position in a gaurd tower at a local prison. We also had to pass bi-yearly psychological screning. That was a very high stress job and now that I'm out of it, I'd never go back.
I want that job, although I wouldn't pass the psychological screening. Well I might but not through being sane but by lying my ass off so I could shoot inmates.

How's your aim? Do you shoot?
Last time I went out shooting (skeet shooting), I had a shotgun too large for me. Ended up with bruises all down my right side from arm pit to waist.
but I hit the targets.
— hey, hey Ally H - you with your world domination plans. There's still a democracy of votes to contend with,
But if we have as big a response for the voices as we did for the script submissions, you will be settling up with me as to who has which half! :)
D: I heard Ally was the only one to submit anything! Aw man, I wish I'd done something to help now, I'd been thinking about doing a script, but I had no idea what to do. That's it, I'm definately going to have a try for the voices… *reads script*
…
Is it weird that I want to try out for the Old guy…?
My sister delivered a girl at 6:40 this morning, making the grandkid count for my parents: 5 grandsons and now 2 granddaughters. but who's counting?
Let's see… being the runt of the litter, I've yet to contribute into the grandchildren pool of my mother but my other three sisters have collectively made her a grandmother 8 times now but who's counting? (Me, apparently)
Oh, and the 9th one is one its way.
Oh, and one of those grandchildren has made her a great grandmother already.
…did I mention that I was the runt of the litter?
Ugh, fuck I hate my brother.
You know… a good way to get back at him is to turn him into an embarrassing character in your comic. :þ
I'm always embarrassed drawing naked people. Particularly when I don't have a reference and need to do it for a project and I'm like: "To search 'life drawing model' on google images, or not to search on google images…"
You could probably find a professional live model course, somewhere in your area. Most art schools do that type of stuff.
…don't know how much they charge for that, though.
It appears that DD doesn't really want me to quote you. That, or there is an INCREDIBLE amount of info that it needs to be transferred from amscdn.btrll.com - and then from nabbr.pubnet - and let's not leave out flash.quantserve (makes one want to get holy and say JESUS CHRIST)
ANYWAY - perhaps I might be able to reciprocate and provide a tidbit of learning. Generally, the runts of the litter are the smallest of the litter. Are your sisters so much larger than you? Perhaps you wish to re-phrase?
With my siblings, even though I am the oldest, I am indeed the runt (being the smallest)

Problem is he reads my comic like a hawk, and he'd know…

There's an age limit for those things usually. And being… under the age limit, I can't really go, unless I lie about my age. But then I seem weird because I'm lying about my age to get into life drawing classes.
Oooohhhhh thank you for the links Ally, I shall have a look. The Postman is going to have a heart attack when he sees my orders, I think…

Having bad day, today. I've got a massive project for geography to do, where I'm… completely failing. I only picked Geography as a filler subject so I had enough units for year 11, and I'm seriously regretting my choice. I'm stressing out because haven't done nearly enough work, and as I have a bad work ethic anyway, I don't know if its going to go anywhere… at least, anywhere with the marks needed to pass.
The friends that went off and got their belly butons piercings have discovered that I was right. One of them has become infected and the infection won't clear up for three weeks. I distinctly remember saying something along the lines of, "Don't play with it, belly button piercings get infected really easily if you play with them or don't clean them," When they made the impulsive decision to get them. Answer? "Oh no, no it won't, I know what I'm doing, you're stupid, you just don't want us getting them, you don't know anything!" AND BEHOLD, whose got the infection now?
I'd like to say: "I told you so" But I'm not that cruel a person, they still think that I'm some uncool square because I don't approve of getting some shiny object shove through their belly button.
I'm feeling increeeeeedibly sick, I've got horrid, scabby pimples and shit all over my face whic I've done my best to hide under layers of foundation. I've got two mouth ulcers, which makes it painful when I talk and eat and such, and nothing makes me feel better then my grandmother declaring: "Oh your clothes are lovely, except your face, your face is terrible."
Isn't that what paper bags are for? Oh, well. At least we can appreciate living in a country where we can go out without being required to cover every inch of our skin… including our eyes… it'd be pretty bad if the beleif system in our country decreed that human skin is too holy to look at, so we'd all have to completely cover up in huge robes or something…
One mystery I'd like to figure out about women. They tell me they're going for the "natural" look, then they go about putting several hundred gigatons of makeup. I thought the word "natural" when it comes to appearance meant something that's unaltered and unchanged. Must be a lady thing…
Ugh… I can't sleep. Weedwhackers and leafblowers on outside. Dogs barking… and a couple of cats fighting right outside my window… well… before I threw an old slipper at them. I like to sleep on my day off too except I've been told I'm on call today. Lovely…
I guess I'll go and cook something for lunch now. I'd make spaghetti, but all I've got for pasta is elbow macaroni. I guess I'll use that for now.
Naw, i'm up at offutt, trying to crosstrain. They keep finding silly excuses not to let me go. I just found out about the new requirements on friday. (i think literally right before i made the post.)
I've been trying to get at this a couple years, and i've passed the previous versions, but everytime i'm really close they just up the standards. Just gotta work a little harder is all.
Too bad you're not at Lackland, because they just implemented a specialized training program designed for people looking to do pararescue. The beauty of it too is that although it's mostly for Airmen, they are letting anyone who has base access take the training as well which is really cool and they're custom tailoring the workouts to individuals needs. Not, sure if they have anything like that where you're at, but it's something new where I'm at that wasn't available before to help with the training before they take the tests. Anyway, good luck and here's the link to the article about the training if you're interested. http://www2.mysanantonio.com/lackland_talespinner/Talespinner_05_27_11.pdf

I would literally kill to have that option. There are a few other options out there with retired Spec ops people running training camps, but they're charging premium dollar for the opportunity. On top of that, i'd have to take leave for it.
I just wake up early every morning, and skip out of work whenever i can, so i can get/stay in shape. At the same time, i have a year to train do to stupid afpc being stupid. also, my shoulder's injured so it won't hurt to have this year off. —–

Ugh, I just wrote out a huge long intellegent response for this quote, but Drunkduck decided it hated me and said: "NO POSTING FOR U, MS. FOOLSANDVIKINGS!"
So yes, I'll just do the short version:
Basically, the "Natural" look is supposedly wearing make up in such a way that it looks like you're not wearing makeup, which is a bit stupid, because that's the whole idea of wearing makeup in the first place. :/
I'm rather insecure about it all, you'd have to pay me a sugnificant amount of money to get me to walk around with no makeup, I can't leave the house without a layer of foundation as thick as four pieces of paper slapped onto my face to cover up things I don't wish the world to see. I do this because I'd rather not be judged by my peers.
The only time I've ever worn makeup was for dance recitals(you kind of have to when you're onstage). I shower and brush my hair every day, that's it. I guess I just never saw the point, I'm not really sure.
I wouldn't wear it so often if my friends and family didn't point things out like, "WOW, you've got HUGE bags under you eyes" or "LOL LOOK AT YOUR SCABBY PIMPLES, AHAHA," Or my personal favourite: "You look like shit today."

Oh, trust me, I'm well aware of the need >.< But they're just being teenage girls, and coupled with being born and bred Aussies from the sticks, means that saying things without thinking is rather natural to them.
Wow… another person I can visit if I ever decide to take the several thousand mile trip directly south (I'm pretty much in the same time zone as Sydney).
I guess makeup is something you grow up with. My niece wears very little makeup. She's pretty confident in herself. Some women put on a lot of makup very well. But most times I've seen it very poorly done… to the point that they look like zombies (and they're not even in a zombie film!!!)…
I guess I'll be having fun tomorrow. I'll be attending her graduation. That girl's almost like a daughter to me (and probably the closest I'll ever get to having a child). Makes me fondly remember the times I found myself saddled with her when her mother was first time and inexperienced… And I'll admit… her and her sister's relationship are the inspiration for Magiversity's main character and her sister's relationships… except the story focuses on the younger sister (Minna) and they both have the same father (whose fate no one knows of).
I really need to stop watching Doctor Ashens' vids. I keep laughing at them. Especially Ashen's "Retro Games" Tech Dump. Just search that on YouTube and start from 3:00. I guess I've got a sadistic streak in me because I keep chuckling at Ashen's reaction to the poor Vole committing suicide…
Yes. And before you ask the next question, no, I never shot anybody. Standing on the walk of a forty foot tower armed with an M-14 assualt rifle generally tends to keep inmates from charging that fence. Inmates have a surprising sense of self preservation.
But I have worked in a cellblock riot before, that was something else. Military grade tear gas and one swat team versus 124 convicts…it was crazy.
I don't like to ask the kill question in public. except for the insane, it's not really a fun topic, or even an appropriate one in all but a few cases. I just thought it was cool you got to be a sniper.
We really do have a wide range of people on these boards.
My apologies for jumping a bit too quickly on that one, it seems like everyone asks me that as soon as they learn what I used to do. And I've often had the same thought about these forums, it's a real grab bag of characters!
OK, now that I've gotten my Exam back for Art, and… Uuuuugghhhh…. Once again, I wonder why I'm doing art… Oh yeah, I can hold a pencil and draw stuff, and of course, that's not enough. I hate sitting down and analysing artworks. I can never find any "meaning" in them. Its a spiral of rocks that mae a comment on society about the progression of time using natural materials which was apparently was SO obvious, anyone could get it, I looked at the picture for the exam and thought: "Look, some rocks."
Seriously, I HATE those types of essay and exam questions about artworks. I always do shit because I look at an artwork and see NO meaning, unless its obvious, like a Giant sign in it that says: "FREE TIBET" and then I'll be like "It's about freeing Tibet!"

I'm convinced the point of that stuff is how well you can make shit up. Like "oooo the swirling purple and red hue give the mental image of a crushed butterfly… which symbolizes the artists will to work during the great depression".
I mean in English we read these crappy stories about an old lady who sleeps next to dead husbands corpse, and then you make something up about how a lamp that is mentioned two times symbolizes her abusive father. Big fat A.
